Patrick Cox Launches HARRY HERON: INTO THE UNKNOWN by BWW News Desk
- March 30, 2016 When Patrick Cox left the world of the fire service for retirement, he felt compelled to pursue a new career as an author. Building on his experience as a technical author, he has followed his interests in naval history into the world of fiction. The author of several works of fiction, Patrick's newest book, 'Harry Heron: Into the Unknown' (paperback ISBN 978-0-9860953-9-9, ebook ISBN 978-0-9860953-3-7), follows the flagship book in the series, 'Harry Heron: Midshipman's Journey,' taking the reader from a sea battle between the British and the French in the southern Indian Ocean into a future war in space. A freak accident on board the HMS Spartan catapults Midshipman Harry Heron and his shipmates Ferghal O'Connor and Danny Gunn four hundred years into the future, landing them on the NECS Vanguard, flagship of the World Treaty Organisation Fleet. The three youths must adapt quickly to a new age filled with unfamiliar technology, and just as they have found their footing, they are called upon to assist the Fleet in a rescue mission on the planet Pangaea, giving them the opportunity to prove that their unique skills from the past are still very relevant in the far distant future.
Cox says, 'This story combines my love of British naval history, particularly of the sailing navy of Nelson and characters such as Hornblower, Bolitho, and Ramage, with the inspired future worlds envisioned by Asimov, Clark, and Heinlein. It allows me to explore the value of rudimentary sailing and navigational skills no matter what era one finds oneself in.'
Born in Cape Town and educated at Selborne College in East London, South Africa, Patrick G. Cox is a published technical author and lecturer, and a retired firefighter after thirty-six years of soot, heat, blood, sweat, and laughter. He is a Licensed Minister in the Church of England, has three adult children and one new little granddaughter of whom he is enormously proud, and is the author of A Baltic Affair, Limehouse Boys, and Harry Heron: Midshipman's Journey, the first book in the Harry Heron Adventure Series.

Flaming Leaf Press Presents New Novel by Gudjon Bergmann by BWW News Desk
- March 29, 2016 Why would a psychiatrist who has been meditating for more than thirty years try to commit suicide? That is the question that drives protagonist Robert Davis in this spiritual mystery set in Austin, TX. The novel challenges preconceived ideas that meditation must always have beneficial effects. It explores the practice in relation to death, personal philosophy, and community.
The backdrop is the everyday life of a recovering alcoholic, lead parent, and therapist Robert Davis, whose whole life is upended after a meeting suicidal patient Dr. Vigo Andersen at the Austin Psychiatric Hospital. In his search for answers, Robert is sucked into a philosophical vortex that threatens everything he holds dear, including his marriage, his sobriety, his business, even his sanity. Will he lose everything or will he solve the puzzle?
'I wanted to write something real,' says veteran nonfiction author Gudjon Bergmann about his debut novel. 'Everyone knows that it is impossible to be happy and peppy all the time. Unfortunately, many of my peers in the self-developmental and New Age community would have us believe that. I wanted to write about the struggles that come along with spiritual practice, the confusion, the doubt, and the internal battles. Meditation does not create a steady ascent to enlightenment and there are many possible pitfalls. Few people acknowledge that. This novel will hopefully ignite a debate that explores the practice from all sides.'
Where did he get the idea for The Meditating Psychiatrist Who Tried to Kill Himself?
'Fifteen years ago an acquaintance of mine, who taught Eastern meditation techniques, attempted to commit suicide. I could never figure out why. Meditation is supposed to elicit peace of mind, not longing for death, right? For me, it seemed like the perfect question to wrestle with in my debut novel.'
Bergmann was born in Iceland in 1972, but moved the USA in 2010 and became a US citizen in 2013. He lives in Kyle, TX, with his wife and two children. He has written more than twenty nonfiction books about meditation, smoking cessation, mindful yoga, and stress management, to name a few topics.
